not chicken feed

An amount of money that cannot be considered paltry or miniscule. The senator's budgetary plan is several times lower than her counterpart from the opposing party, but, at $8.6 billion, it's still not chicken feed. This €5 fee may seem small, but when you take into account the number of transactions we'll do each year, it quickly adds into the tens of thousands. That's not chicken feed for any small business to cough up.
